took for his text last night 1.-THE Cup o.
Desolation." He spoke briefly Of the des

the use of liquor. And then he spoke Il
the young men from financial point. He
stated many facts and proved them from
incidents of actual life. He said that twenty
years ago there were eight young mer

to one Young man, and fifty years from this
time the brains will be under the bonDets
instead OF the hats.

The Night School.

To The Editor Of the Register:
SIR see in late issue of your paper
a very important and timely article from
some one, with your favorable editorial
comment on same, respecting the establish
ment of free night schools for the benefit
of large number of small boys who are
unable TO attend the public schools during
the day. Without euumerating the var
iOus reasons for the inauguration OF such 4
system of educalion, we think the city
Board ami the different principals Of our
ward schools would al a glance see the i'm
pOrtance of such move and promptly
offer their services in any way in which
they might be the most useful and soonest
accomplish this desired object For the
benefit of the unfortunate boys who labor
day in and day ont for the support Of
themselves and their relations, we are per
fectly willing to pay the regular teachers
for a couple hours extra labor each night Of
the week; however, We think there are
enough public spirited teachers who
would readily volunteer for the additional
labor, for in so doing they will gain more
desirable popularity and advance their
future chances for promotion more efiec-
tually than in any other way, aside from
having the pleasurabie self.satisfsction OF
contributing to deserving and noble
cause. LABORER

also note that there is, in the minds of
some, still considerable mystery attending
